Saint John of Las Vegas Synopsis: After a run of bad luck, John (Steve Buscemi), a compulsive gambler, runs away from Las Vegas and toward a normal job and life. Taking a nondescript position in an auto insurance company in Albuquerque, he tries to get ahead in the straight world, amid the ever-present temptations of scratch-off lotto tickets.
When his boss, Mr. Townsend (Peter Dinklage), asks John to accompany his top fraud debunker, Virgil (Romany Malco) on an investigation of a dubious car "accident" near Vegas, John sees an opportunity to get a promotion , though he's concerned about returning to the gambling game. Before leaving he becomes involved with his eccentric co-worker Jill (Sarah Silverman), a dalliance that has the potential to become a real relationship.
Soon John is on the road with Virgil, where they encounter a series of offbeat characters, including a wheelchair-bound stripper (Emmanuelle Chriqui), a nude militant (Tim Blake Nelson), a park Ranger (Jesse Garcia), and a carnival human torch (John Cho). While Virgil is the supposed leader of the investigation, it's John who begins to finally assert himself, pushing the case closer to a conclusion.
Through the journey, John's confidence builds, and he realizes that he can't escape his gambling addiction by running away from it—it will follow him wherever he goes. It's only when he returns to Vegas and his experiences there finally send him on the path to breaking free.
First time writer/director Hue Rhodes' SAINT JOHN OF LAS VEGAS follows the wild and funny trip a guy has to take to discover there's more than one way to hit the jackpot in life

Saint John of Las Vegas will be released to limited theaters in February, 2010. Check out more pictures and the poster below.

YOUTH IN REVOLT Movie Trailer with Michael Cera

Check out the trailer for YOUTH IN REVOLT starring Michael Cera, Ray Liotta, Justin Long, Fred Willard, Jean Smart, Steve Buscemi, Portia Doubleday, Zach Galifianakis, Adhir Kalyan, and directed by Miguel Arteta.

So I'm definitely going to see this movie! If only to see Nick's (Michael Cera) alter ego, Francois, in action.

Youth in Revolt will be released to theaters on October 30, 2009. Watch the trailer below.

Youth in Revolt Synopsis: Filled with intellectual pretensions and raging hormones, Nick Twisp (Cera) lives a dull life with his cougar mother, Estelle (Smart), and her truck-driving, loutish boyfriend, Jerry (Galifianakis). When Jerry sells a group of strapping young sailors a lemon Chevy Nova, they want revenge. In true heroic fashion, Jerry takes the family to hide out in a trailer park until the coast is clear. Nick is sorely out of place, thinking himself condemned to slum it with his barbaric family, until he meets Sheeni (newcomer Portia Doubleday), the precocious Ozu-loving dilettante in the nearby two-storey trailer. It's love at first sight, further cemented when Sheeni plays him French crooners on vinyl. But Nick's romanticized vision is shattered when he discovers that Sheeni is dating Trent (Jonathan B. Wright), a sickeningly handsome fop in tennis shoes and a cream-coloured sweater. With the stakes raised, Nick goes to hilarious lengths to secure Sheeni's love, including buying her a puppy named Albert (after Camus, of course) and even creating an alter ego for himself, François Dillinger. A chain-smoking Frenchman sporting a devil-may-care moustache, François gets Nick into disaster after disaster in his quest for Sheeni's attention.
Based on C. D. Payne's cult-hit novel of the same name, Youth in Revolt is as smart as it is funny, combining classic black comedy with fresh new interpretations by its terrific young cast. No one plays the comedy of embarrassment better than Michael Cera, and in pitting a familiar Cera character against his dangerous French doppelganger, director Miguel Arteta has found a perfect new take on the genre.

This sounds like such a funny movie and I love watching Michael Cera do his thing. And let's not even talk about the great cast. I'm especially happy to see Adhir Kalyan in one of the pictures below, seeing as I was a huge fan of The CW's 'Aliens in America.'

Youth in Revolt will be released to theaters on October 30, 2009. Check out more pictures below.

Youth in Revolt Synopsis: A hysterically twisted coming-of-age tale chronicling the awkward tribulations of a Camus-spouting, Godard-loving teenaged boy who is cursed with trailer-trash parents and a terminal case of virginity, Youth in Revolt is a wickedly ironic treat. The fact that it stars comedic royalty Michael Cera, Zach Galifianakis, Jean Smart and Steve Buscemi under the direction of the man responsible for some of the funniest episodes of Ugly Betty, The Office, Six Feet Under and Freaks and Geeks makes it pure gold.

Nothing against Michael Cera. Then again I don't have much for him either. I just feel like he is a one note actor and I wish he would do some crazy role like being a serial killer or something. This movie is not going to be that crazy role in my opinion

Youth In Revolt Synopsis: The journal of Nick Twisp, an 18-year old high school student, who goes on a quest to lose his virginity after his parent's breakup.
